  • Dakota Johnson Says Her 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Character is a Feminist and Jamie Dornan Was Very Protective

    We're only a few short weeks until the moment when Fifty Shades of Grey will finally make its grand debut in theaters and then we'll all definitively know whether or not the film adaptation does the book justice. Needless to say, both Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are doing loads of interviews to promote the film. They are also both covering the March 2015 issue of Glamour and the interview that accompanies it is pretty revealing.

  • John Oliver Auditions for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' in 'Last Week Tonight' Web Exclusive [WATCH]

    John Oliver is angry. The "Last Week Tonight" host started a hashtag after Jamie Dornan was announced as the male lead in the hotly anticipated film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," saying the actor "has all of the charisma of a sandwich bag filled with iceberg lettuce." The hashtag #NotMyChristian took off and now Oliver is back in a Web exclusive to hilariously audition for the part, despite the movie being completed.

  • Ellie Goulding Shares 'Love Me Like You Do' Music Video from 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Soundtrack [WATCH]

    Hot on the heels of yesterday, Jan. 21's video release for The Weeknd's "Earned It," Ellie Goulding has unveiled the visuals to her song for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack "Love Me Like You Do." The Max Martin-produced single is another strong effort from the "Outside" singer, as Goulding channels the themes of sex and lust within the film to create an upbeat, sensual pop tune with a bombastic chorus as Ellie Goulding croons, "Love me like you do / Touch me like you do / What are you waiting for."

  • The Weeknd Shares 'Earned It' Video for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Starring Dakota Johnson [WATCH]

    The Weeknd has unveiled the NSFW music video for his contribution to the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack: "Earned It." The video finds The Weeknd — real name Abel Tesfaye — in an auditorium with nearly naked women dancing around in front of him, including film star Dakota Johnson, who is tied up in some sort of contraption. Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the clip is probably tame for what is to come in the film, but still hints at the class that the song possesses, as the OVO boss croons: "Cause girl you're perfect / You're always worth it / And you deserve it / The way you work it / Cause girl you earned it / Girl you earned it."

  • Jamie Dornan Isn't Sure What to Expect Once 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Hits Theaters

    Jamie Dornan might be on the verge of something really huge, and he is the first to admit that even he does not know what to expect once "Fifty Shades of Grey" finally premieres in theaters. The actor is covering the latest issue of "Variety" and discloses a bunch of interesting little nuggets for fans. Like the fact that he actually met with Robert Pattinson to discuss what it is like to star in what could become a huge franchise. Dornan said the two ended up getting drunk together and bonded that way.

  • Dakota Johnson Is Commemorating Her Role in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' by Covering 'Vogue'

    Since the hotly anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey" is getting ready to roll into theaters Feb. 13, we can expect to see its stars — Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson — everywhere to promote it. Apparently a lot of faith is being put behind Johnson that she will morph into a real "it" girl just like Kristen Stewart did after "Twilight" first dropped. That hopeful notion is probably the main reason why Johnson has been chosen to cover the February issue of "Vogue."

  • Watchdog Group Morality in Media Is Criticizing 'Fifty Shades of Grey's' R Rating

    While most people seem to be questioning whether or not there is going to be enough sexual content in "Fifty Shades of Grey" to make it feel like the book has come to life onscreen, there is a watchdog group taking direct aim at the film and its R rating. Morality in Media is concerned that the MPAA giving this flick an R rating due to "unusual behavior" is not an accurate enough description to inform patrons of the actual content.It is kind of hard to imagine that there is an adult out there who has not heard of "Fifty Shades of Grey" after a few years of major discussion in the press, isn't it? Well, Morality in Media has issued a statement requesting that the MPAA change its explanation of the R rating that the film has received."What the term 'unusual' does not account for is the coercion, sexual violence, female inequality and BDSM themes from which the entire 'Fifty Shades' plot is based. Such a vague evaluation puts viewers at risk, sending the message that humiliation is pleasurable and that torture should be sexually gratifying. We'd like to change the MPAA rating for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' to read: 'Promotes torture as sexually gratifying, graphic nudity, encourages stalking and abuse of power, promotes female inequality, glamorizes and legitimizes violence against women,'" says the watchdog group.

  • A New 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Trailer Has Been Released After Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson Had Zero Chemistry at Golden Globes

    In about a month, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is finally going to premiere in theaters nationwide and then, after years of speculation, we will finally all know whether or not this movie actually works. There has been so much chatter about every aspect of it — from the casting to whether or not it can possibly live up to the book with an R rating — that the bar has been set extremely high. Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele will really have their work cut out for them.Both actors were on hand to present an award at the Golden Globes last night, Jan. 11. It was a chance to put Dornan and Johnson together in the same place at the same time, to build up a bit of anticipation for the film. If there time together onstage was any indication of how they relate to one another, "Fifty Shades of Grey" might be the most awkward thing to hit theaters this year. Of course, nerves may have been a factor in their presentation, but after hearing that chemistry had been an issue during filming, well, last night it kind of felt like that might be true, and without chemistry this film is going nowhere.

  • Will 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Generate Enough Heat with an R Rating from MPAA?

    It seems like we have been waiting forever for the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" to be released, and now that it is almost here, it has finally been given an official rating by the MPAA. Although it seemed like it was heading for an NC-17 branding, it has just been announced that "Fifty Shades of Grey" will hit theaters Feb. 13 with an R rating.The film, based on E.L. James's risqué BDSM trilogy, pulled an official R rating due to "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity," which, of course, is no surprise to anyone who has read the series. But there has been concern all along about taking something so graphic and putting it on the big screen. In order to make fans of the book happy, whatever unfolds on screen is going to have to be really hot and risky. It is almost hard to imagine the film being able to mirror the book with just an R rating, don't you think?Perhaps what Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, have managed to create on screen will still hold even if it is not identical to the book. If their chemistry works well enough and if the actual movie is as cleverly crafted as the teasers for it have been, then it could work. Dornan recently talked about "Fifty Shades of Grey" being a love story at its root. Maybe they have worked to tap into an emotional connection as well as the obvious physical one that the book series is based on.
